SM- Card
• The SM-Card holds the configuration and software for the IDU. The SM-
Card is embedded in the SM-Card Cover, so re-using the existing SM-Card
Cover is necessary to ensure that the unit’s software and configuration is
maintained.
• Contains only software with configuration

17 Proprietary and Confidential

Ethernet Management Interface IP-20G
• FibeAir IP-20G contains two FE management interfaces, which connect to a single RJ-45 physical
connector on the front panel (MGMT).

• If the user only needs to use a single management interface, a standard Cat5 RJ-45 cable (straight or
cross) can be connected to the MGMT interface.
• To access both management interfaces, a special 2 x FE splitter cable can be ordered from Ceragon.

• Port Status LED – The LED for management interface 1 is located on the upper left of the MGMT
interface. The LED for management interface 2 is located on the upper right of the MGMT interface.

18 Proprietary and Confidential

E1/DS1 - Interface
• Optionally, FibeAir IP-20G can be ordered with an MDR69 connector in which 16
E1/DS1 interfaces are available (ports 1 through 16).
• In SW 7.7. is E1 option only available
• In SW 7.9. also DS1 option available
• The E1/DS1 interface has the following LEDs
• ACT LED – Indicates whether the TDM card is working properly (Green) or if there is
an error or a problem with the card’s functionality (Red).
• E1/DS1 LED – Indicates whether the interfaces are enabled with no alarms (Green),
with alarms (Red), or no interfaces enabled (Off).

19 Proprietary and Confidential

Radio Interfaces
• In 7.7 is supported only single radio carrier.
• In 7.7.5 is supported 2x 1+0 East / West Terminal
• In 7.9 is supported 2+0 XPIC
• In 7.7 is supported only RFU-C (up to 256QAM) and RFU-Ce (up to 1024
QAM)
• In 7.9 RFU-HP, 1500HP, RFU-A supported
• In 8.0 release is supported 2+0 ABC
• The IDU and RFU are connected by a coaxial cable RG-223 (100 m/300 ft),
Belden 9914/RG-8 (300 m/1000 ft) or equivalent, with an N-type connector
(male) on the RFU and a TNC connector on the IDU.

an error or a problem with the interface’s functionality (Red), as follows:
• Off – The radio is disabled.
• Green – The radio is active and operating normally.
• Blinking Green – The radio is operating normally and is in standby mode.
• Red – There is a hardware failure.
• Blinking Red – Troubleshooting mode.
• LINK – Indicates the status of the radio link, as follows:
• Green – The radio link is operational.
• Red – There is an LOF or Excessive BER alarm on the radio.
• Blinking Green – An IF loopback is activated, and the result is OK.
• Blinking Red – An IF loopback is activated, and the result is Failed.
• RFU – Indicates the status of the RFU, as follows:
• Green – The RFU is functioning normally.
• Yellow – A minor RFU alarm or a warning is present, or the RFU is in TX
mute mode, or, in a protected configuration, the RFU is in standby mode.

Power Interfaces

• FibeAir IP-20G receives an external supply of -48V current via one or two power
interfaces (the second power interface is optional for power redundancy).

• The IP-20G monitors the power supply for under-voltage and includes reverse
polarity protection, so that if the positive (+) and negative (-) inputs are mixed up, the
system remains shut down.

• The allowed power input range for the IP-20G is -40V to -60V. An under voltage
alarm is triggered if the power goes below the allowed range, and an over voltage
alarm is triggered if the power goes above the allowed range.

• There is an ACT LED for each power interface.

• The LED is Green when the voltage being fed to the power interface is within range,
and Red if the voltage is not within range or if a power cable is not connected.

22 Proprietary and Confidential

Synchronization Interface
• FibeAir IP-20G includes an RJ-45 synchronization interface for T3 clock input and T4 clock output.
The interface is labeled SYNC.

• The synchronization interface contains two LEDs, one on the upper left of the interface and one
on the upper right of the interface, as follows:

• T3 Status LED – Located on the upper left of the interface. Indicates the status of T3 input clock,
as follows:
• Off – There is no T3 input clock, or the input is illegal.
• Green – There is legal T3 input clock.

• T4 Status LED – Located on the upper right of the interface. Indicates the status of T4 output
clock, as follows:
• Off – T4 output clock is not available.
• Green – T4 output clock is available.
• Blinking Green – The clock unit is in a holdover state.

23 Proprietary and Confidential

External Alarms
• IP-20G includes a DB9 dry contact external alarms interface. The external alarms
interface supports five input alarms and a single output alarm.

• The input alarms are configurable according to:

• 1 Intermediate
• 2 Critical
• 3 Major
• 4 Minor
• 5 Warning

• The output alarm is configured according to predefined categories.

24 Proprietary and Confidential

Terminal Interface
• FibeAir IP-20G includes an RJ-45 terminal interface (RS-232). A local craft
terminal can be connected to the terminal interface for local CLI
management of the unit.
